Consequences of Illegal Aliens in U.S. Schools

The practical consequences of the Supreme Court's decision (see previous post) to force U.S. schools to enroll illegal aliens into our school systems:

1. Encourage illegal immigration: Illegal alien parents are more inclined to come into this country knowing their children will not only be educated while they work, but be better educated than in their own country.
2. Increased classroom size: Illegal aliens, along with the swell of legal immigrants, are causing crowded classrooms. It is a real problem in many school districts & adds to taxpayer costs in additonal facilities, teachers & resources.
3. Additional costs for ESl/bi-lingual classes: Illegal aliens, along with the swell of legal immigrants, are causing greater taxpayer costs in the form of ESL teachers, facilities, & resources.
4. Cost of education: It costs taxpayers from $7,000 - $10,000 to educate each illegal alien student per year. Local property/school taxes are reflected in this.
5. Cost of Special Education: Illegal alien students who require special education services cost the taxpayer additional money. A facilitated illegal alien student can cost the taxpayer up to $70,000 a year or more - for one student.
6. Lunch programs: Family income of illegal alien students usually falls within eligibility for free school lunches or reduced rate lunches. Your tax dollars at work again. Meanwhile, the U.S. born student whose family income falls just outside eligilbility pays in full for lunch.
7. College competition: Over 100,000 illegal aliens receive high school diplomas in this country each year. They are competing with your U.S. born child for placement in college. Some states have even seen fit to charge illegal aliens in-state tuition - meaning that a U.S. citizen in one state who wants to go to college in another stae will pay the much larger out-of-state tuition, while the illegal alien will pay the much lower in-state tuition.
8. Scholarship money: You child is competing with illegal alien students for precious scholarship money.
9. You fill in what I missed.

I am a California parent whose child is a victim of the influx of illegal mexicans. In my sons overcrowded school the hour of speech therapy he is entitled to recieve weekly has been reduced to 20 mins a week, I have no doubt it is because some of this time is given to the children of non-taxpaying illegals. Where for the love of god is the justice in this?
